Not just 4/5 last year. They’ve been 4/5 the past 5 years….you have to go back to 2003 I think where there are off more than that. And there is talk that they could be 5 for 5 this year for the first time (they never have been is the thing). I’m not saying they won’t, I’m saying they should at least be 4 for 5

The guilds always match up for the most part, but your comment the other day about the PGA always being 4/5. Just cause it was 4/5 last year, doesn't mean it'll be so again.

In fact, it won't surprise me at all if they're exactly the same.

The ASC is pretty accurate in predicting the Oscar noms. The past couple years they’ve matched up save for one. And again, I bet Deakins still won’t get his Oscar. It’s crazy!
